Event

A scheduled social gathering with a title, optional time bounds, visibility, and an attached conversation. Events have participants who RSVP and can link to communities.

Visibility scopes:

• public — visible to any member within the discovery graph
• private — visible only to the owner and active/invited participants

Allowed:

• event
• social event (when disambiguation with time events is required)
• event conversation (the conversation attached to an event)
• event participant
• event RSVP

Forbidden:

• calendar event (that belongs to the time service; see: time)
• time event (same)
• meeting (implies productivity/work context)
• appointment (same)
• happening (too informal)

Notes:

• Every event has an attached conversation created at the same time as the event. Replies to an event go into this conversation.
• Private event co-participation is not part of the current circle contract.
• "Event" unqualified always means a social event. When referring to a time service calendar entry, always qualify: calendar event.
• The social service pushes event data to the time service via sync. Time does not own social events.
• Each member gets a default public event and a default private event seeded on first login.
